Dendrobium fleckeri

August 7, 2018 By A'na Sa'tara

Dendrobium fleckeri is a hardy Australian species from Queensland, growing at higher mountain elevations (1000-1500m) as an epiphyte.  We grow this species “cold,” with Dendrobium kingianum, outdoors until below 30F (-1C).

This particular plant has bloomed in sequence over the spring, with the first flowers opening in April, and continuing through June.  There has also been a second flowering in August.  Dendrobium fleckeri is the latest flowering of our native Australian species.  I have also noted hybrids with this species tending to bloom in early fall (Sept-October).
